Where does the price per 1,000 characters come from?

From you. This tool has no built-in prices — enter the rate your provider actually charges (the "e.g. 0.30" placeholder is only an example format, not a real price). Enter 0 if your tier is free.

How accurate is the duration estimate?

It is a labeled estimate: words divided by your WPM setting. Real pacing depends on the voice, speed setting, pauses and emphasis, so treat the mm:ss as a planning number, not a promise.

What if I only know the word count?

Enter it in the override field. Characters are then estimated at 5 per word and clearly flagged as estimated in the output.

Does this tool synthesize the voiceover?

No. It only calculates timing and cost from your text and your rates. Nothing here generates audio.

Is the calculator free?

Yes — completely free, no signup. It runs in your browser using simple math.
